Simple. Elegant and a Bit Different.
Smooth lightweight sterling silver hoops for your ears. These handmade earrings feature the unique hook and tail design found in SpindleCat Studio's popular locking removable knitting stitch marker.
**Made to Order just for you** from solid Sterling Silver wire
- in your choice of wire thickness -
thinner 20ga [0.8mm] or thicker 18ga [1mm]
Most standard ear wires and post earrings are 20ga. If your ears are sensitive to size please only order the 18ga if you are certain they will fit you.
***Please make certain of your choice before ordering. Hoop earrings are not returnable.***
Dimensions: (approx.)
20ga [0.8mm] earring -
5/8”wide x 7/8” long [16mm x 22mm]
18ga [1mm] earring -
3/4" wide x 1” long [18mm x 25mm]
My 20ga hoops are proportionally smaller than the 18ga ones so will hang a bit closer to your ear than the 18ga ones shown worn in last photo.
This listing is for one matched pair of earrings. Earrings will arrive in a small card stock presentation folder unless gift box variation has been chosen.

Q: How are these different than just buying two of SpindleCat Studio's sterling silver locking removable stitch markers?
A: There are (4) four differences between purchasing this earring listing vs. the stitch marker listing.
- First, you can choose whether you'd like 18ga wire (1mm) or lighter, slimmer 20ga wire (0.8mm) for your earrings. At this time, due to repetitive use and durability issues, stitch markers are only 18ga.
- Second, as earrings your hoops will be made as a matched mirrored pair - one opens right and one left. (Stitch markers are made with hooks facing the same way.)
- Third, sterling stitch markers are quality stamped .925 on backside halfway around the curve. Since earrings may be seen and worn with either side showing I do not quality mark them to keep them comfortable with a visually clean appearance.
- Finally, extra care is taken in the finish and polish of your earrings.
